Alice Waters, Gwyneth Paltrow and Michelle Obama preach the benefits of organic food. Organic fruit, vegetables and milk are more nutritious and contain up to 40% more antioxidants than their non-organically grown counterparts, according to a 2007 European Union study. Higher traces of vitamin C, iron, copper, healthy fatty acids and zinc were also found in organic foods, compared to non-organic foods.

So what’s the very best organic food? The food that’s grown closest to you, of course! Make meal planning a fun family affair and take a trip to a farmer’s market. What’s in season during summer? Apricots, beets, blueberries, broccoli, cherries, corn, peaches, peas, plums, raspberries, spinach, strawberries, tomatoes, and zucchini. So visit a farmer’s market and stock up on the best produce of summer!
